The ten Netflix movies too scary to finish

Netflix has released its list of the top ten scariest films that it says viewers find too horrific to finish.

Forbes contributor and author of the sci-fi series, The Earthborn Trilogy, Paul Tassi, reviewed the movies Netflix viewers gave up on after watching more than half.

Netflix’s criteria for whether its viewers could stomach a film was that they made it at least 70 percent of the way through before turning it off.

The reasons people abandon a horror film may not always be down to courage.

According to Tassi, while commercial hits like The Conjuring may truly test your mental fortitude, sequels like The Human Centipede 2 and Cabin Fever may just be too camp and gross to finish.

1. Cabin Fever (2016)

A remake of Eli Roth’s 2002 cult horror film of the same name, a group of college students vacationing in a remote woodland cottage is terrorised by a flesh-eating virus that claims its victims one by one.

Set in a stretch of remote Californian desert, this 1970s-inspired thriller follows the flight of two bank robbers after a botched heist, where they fight for survival whilst being hunted by a psychotic ex-military sniper.

3. México Bárbaro (2014)

The film uses eight chapters, each curated by a different director, to bring to life Mexico’s most brutal and terrifying legends and folktales.
